Live Playoff Blog: Twins Vs. A's, Game Two
It seems strange to have a 1 p.m. start the day after the same two teams played at the same time the day before, but hey, it's Minnesota. Those folks should feel lucky ESPN's even showing their game!...

The Day After For The 0-1 Teams
One of the joys of writing about sports on the Web is how every day is a little more important than it would be if glimpsed from a wider perspective.

Grimsley Fingers Clemens, Pettite, Tejada
